The conceptual solution overview section provides an abstract-level diagram that captures a big-picture view of the whole solution, which includes both business and technical aspects.

The conceptual architecture provides a good understanding of the overall architecture for both business and technical users. However, technical users need further architectural depth. Let's dive deeper into the solution architecture, in the next section.
